Cults are inherently irrational (even more so than established religions), often pulling from whatever the leader personally resonates with. I cite Hindu-Nationalists because the cult is rabidly anti-Muslim and has endorsed the movement. Tulsi has also personally voiced support for Hindu-Nationalists and uses…

I think the evidence is that Tulsi takes stands that help Russia (even when they hurt her political career), Russian bots push her candidacy, and she goes on TV saying things that undermine the Democratic party. A normal Democratic politician’s response would be, “I’m sorry that Sec. Clinton sees me that way. While…

If Hillary Clinton wants to troll Gabbard, I’m fine with it. Fuck Gabbard.

For sure, there is hard evidence against Stein and Flynn, showing them bowing to Russian Oligarchs and even Putin himself.

Tulsi is hot garbage, but Hillary is not helping.

GO AWAY HILLARY YOU’RE ONLY MAKING IT WORSE!!!

I don’t feel any particular pride for Nancy... It’s more of a very mild sense of relief.

Yea, with the step by step cutting, deeper and deeper , layer by layer...
One illustration we did looked like a cross-section of a stadium, with the floor deep down in the muscle.

Putting up candidates who start from positions of compromise is how the Dems have steadily lost ground on almost every legislative policy battle in DC since the 80s. I can accept compromise, but it needs to come at the end of the fight rather than at the beginning of the campaign.

A public option/Medicare-4-Cash option would have been great under Obama It’s exactly the kind of iterative, step-by-step progressivism that might have lead to a single payer/Medicare-4-All system implemented by his predecessor.

Mean Mayor Pete can kick rocks. In the last debate he said “it’s a difference without distinction” on the subject of taxes vs. premiums to pay for Medicare for All. That’s just a smarty pants way of saying what he attacked Warren for saying, “your costs wont go up”.

Yea, I’ve found that the single issue “town halls” have been much more valuable. I think the lack of being forced to confront each other also really helps them focus on selling their plan to the public, rather than trying rip at each other.

One thing I keep trying to remind myself is that this isn’t necessarily *his* movement. The two primary roots are the Confederacy (which lead to the KKK) and George Lincoln Rockwell (founder of the American Nazi party before WWII). The fascist right has morphed and splintered since then, but they all trace back to…

When I took my loans, you could still discharge them via bankruptcy. George W. Bush and Joe Biden made sure to see and end to that.

The clearest difference between Bernie and Warren is in how they responded to this.

I used to work for a facial plastic surgeon who spent most of his day fixing the giant holes in people faces where skin cancers were removed. The worst were when someone’s nose or eyelids were involved.

It looks like Bianca has sapped the life force out of a 20 something.

If he runs he is almost guaranteed to lose at this point, he can’t get more than 40% nationally against any of the Dem candidates and 56% of voters consistently say they refuse to vote for him next November (whether that means voting against him or staying home).

I don’t think this is a fuck up. I think this was a test of a new messaging strategy and a dare to the GOP senate.

There is a very broad spectrum of possibilities, and it seems impossible to accurately estimate what the odds are. Every day it’s some new wild shit. The only thing that’s remained consistent is that Trump will do whatever he can to remain in power and stay out of jail.
